Here we go again!!

 We will be under the strictest,level 4, water restrictions again.  After finally having stage1 restrictions for the last week or so, which meant we could water our lawns 2 hours a week on 2 specific days, we have now been told that we will be going back to level 4.  On further inspection of the feeder main that broke 2 months ago they have found 16 new critical sites that need urgent repairs before winter. Starting August 26 the stage 4 restrictions will be in effect again for at least a month!!   

 Last week, on August 5, a huge storm came through the city.  It mainly hit the north side of the city. We just got rain in the south, the north got hail the size of golf balls to tennis balls. The exact same thing happened in the north on August 5,2022! People had only just got their homes fixed after that storm and now they got hit again. There were over 35,000 homes and buildings damaged and countless vehicles. People had videos of their windows in the house being smashed and the hail coming into the house. The airport was hit hard and there was water pouring through the roof. 16 planes from our second largest airline were badly damaged. Peoples gardens and commercial gardens and greenhouses were completely trashed.                                                                                

The good news for DH is his 3 month hip checkup went well, everything is fine. Not so great at his eye specialist.  He has dry macular degeneration in his left eye and they had been keeping an eye, no pun intended, on a black spot it.  This time when they checked there was a long black streak. This has now become wet macular degeneration which is far more serious. We immediately had to go into another office and see the retina specialist who said it was a bleed in the eye and he had to have medicine injected right into his eye! Yes, they did freeze it first, so he didn't feel a thing. We have to go back every 4 weeks and have it rechecked and if the bleed is still there he has to have another injection in it and keep repeating the 4 week cycle until it is gone!  Next he went to the doctor about his hands. Turns out he has trigger finger in his left thumb and right middle finger.  He had to have ultrasound and xrays on both hands and cortisone in his left thumb. We go back next week and he has cortisone in his right hand.  If all that isn't enough he had to go to the podiatrist because he had ingrown toe nails on both sides of both of his big toes. The doctor cut them out but he was overly aggressive on one side of one of the toes. I thought he was going to pass out, it was so painful. Needless to say it is still painful over a week later. 

On a lighter note here is a 7 second video of Walker. We're not biased or anything but we think we may have the next Tiger Woods!!!
